Good vampire movie with a twist and lots of action and awesome graphics.
Good vampire movie if you want to know what would happen if vampirism really happened, and got out of control and humans became endangered. I love vampire movies so I've seem every one out there and this is by far one of my top favorite vampire movies.It has alot of action and anyone who loves supernatural movies with a bit of horror would really enjoy this movie. Vampires who still have human instincts,feelings and real running out of resources problems. Material wise:Genuine DVD still sealed and played in blue ray/DVD players without any problems; additionally the case in the front seems to be a little soft for a covering so if you place something on top of it,you might crush the DVD The movie is a good price if you purchase it here, when compared to other stores and companies.
Thank you for your feedback

Daybreakers is a breath of fresh air in the world of vampire cinema that currently consists of the Twilight series of films. I have nothing against these films, I just prefer my vampires to be badass and blood-thirsty, while maintaining that aura of supernatural coolness à la Christopher Lee in  Horror of Dracula . Daybreakers initially looked bland and forgettable to me, but to my surprise the film manages to pull off being enjoyable as well as bringing a few new ideas to the vampire genre. The film is not groundbreaking in any way, but it is a fun time and (for me) it made vampires cool again.

To start off, the casting is good. I don't personally care for Ethan Hawke, but he works here just fine delivering a satisfactory performance. The real standouts are Sam Neill as Hawke's boss and Willem Dafoe as a kick-ass vampire hunter with a taste for muscle cars, high-tech crossbows, and Elvis Presley. The supporting cast is made up of mostly unknowns and they turn in decent performances. The direction by the Speirig Brothers is above-average, but nothing spectacular. It's a relief to see a horror film that doesn't have that ridiculous shaky-cam thing going on. The action scenes are well-directed as well, with an unexpected car chase happening about halfway through. I must say that the cinematography is excellent, with lots of dark blues and grays in the vampire scenes and dry browns and yellows in the human scenes. It reminded me of the cinematography in the original 
Blade . Again, nothing new but it is a visually pleasing film.

The story itself is nothing amazing, but it's executed quite well. It is, however, interesting from both a horror and sci-fi standpoint, utilizing both genres for maximum effectiveness. As a horror film, it does well with a few scares and lots of blood and gore (another surprise for me, but I'll get to that in a minute). However, it really shines as a science-fiction film. The idea of a shortage of blood causing the vampires to panic is an interesting role reversal that I found quite amusing. It also has overtones of greedy multi-national corporations only in it to make a profit (gleefully reminding me of the Weyland-Yutani company from 
Alien  & Aliens ). There are some nifty new ideas that also made the film feel like a welcome addition to the sci-fi/horror genre. I really don't want to spoil them, so I'll be careful with my choice of words. The vampires have adjusted their way of living to not be hampered by that pesky sunlight. This is done both outright and subtly, the latter of which I found myself chuckling at the filmmaker's ingenuity. Other interesting ideas include the cure itself (which I initially scoffed at, but the more I thought about it I realized in the context of the story, it works) and the concept of what happens to a malnourished vampire that doesn't get regular servings of blood. Does it die? You'll get the answer in Daybreakers. There is also a nice Romero-style commentary on some current social and economic issues, that works well and doesn't get too preachy.

The special effects are well-done. The CGI is nothing special, though the vampires exploding after being staked was pretty cool. However, there are tons of live-acion gore effects that I was very happy to see considering the industry's current obsession with CGI. It was nice to see some 
Day of the Dead -style gore happening in the modern age; and if this comment doesn't make it clear, let me spell it out for you: this film is VERY gory. There's a lot of blood, guts and body parts flying around (one bit early on actually made me jump - something that usually never happens) so be warned. It's not  Dead Alive  or anything, but it is pretty heavy on the red stuff! Gorehounds (myself included) will not be disappointed.

Any complaints? Not really. I originally wanted Willem Dafoe to be more badass, spouting one-liners and such, but he didn't reach that level of true "badass-ness" like 
John McClane , Arnold  or Woody Harrelson's character did in the recent  Zombieland . In retrospect, I realized that this may have messed with the tone of the film so it was probably for the best. The film ended quite abruptly too. Is it too much to ask for a minute of wrap-up? But hey, neither of these make the film any less of a good time.

So, bottom line: I would whole-heartedly recommend this one to any sci-fi/horror fans. It's nothing you haven't seen before, but it's executed in a stylish and interesting manner so you'll definitely enjoy it.

While the movie has some problems, Daybreakers is a callback to old school vampires with a modern take on what would happen if vampires became the new society. With great acting from Ethan Hawke and William Dafoe, plus some graphic moments, this movie manages to bring back what vampires should be after Twilight ruined the genre. I'll give it a 6/10.

I love Vampire movies. Hard to find one I haven't seen except for a few really bad ones. I gave it 5 stars.
I didn't know anything about it. It showed up on Prime.
According to IMDB, it was made 2009. I never heard of it. Must have got shelved.

It's a cut above the Wesley Snipe's "Blade series" of films. Great cast. If Wes had not ticked Hollyweird, this could have been Blade 4. But instead, the vampire legend has a talked about before twist and some interesting paths to follow if you can take a leap of movie faith.

If you love Vampire movies, you will like this. If you just like movies like this, you won't regret watching it.
